Children’s Lit Fest Lock-In

March 6-7, 2009  Friday-Saturday

For students who have qualified, we’re planning a fun evening of activities.  Here are some logistical details regarding the Lock-In:

 

·        This will be a supervised sleepover at Northview School.  After school on Friday, March 6, students should plan to arrive back at Northview by 6:00 p.m. (Adventure Club students may come directly from there).  They should bring a sleeping bag and pillow along with items such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.  Because they will not change into pajamas, children should wear comfortable clothes for sleeping.

  • A pizza supper on the evening of March 6 will be provided for the children.  Popcorn will be available for students.  Breakfast on the morning of March 7 will also be provided.  Students are also welcome to bring their own individually-wrapped snacks, but are encouraged to bring non-messy, dry snacks.  Children may also bring their own refillable water bottles.
  • During the evening, author Judy Young will reveal how her ideas become books as she discusses the “writerly life” as an author.  Children’s poet Kenn Nesbitt will also, through his unique sense of humor, discuss creativity and the writing process.  Signed copies of their respective books will be available for sale prior to the Lock-In.  Order forms will be sent home prior to the Lock-In.
  • There will be opportunities for students to play video and board games.  Students are welcome to bring their own handheld gaming devices (such as a Nintendo DS) as well as board or card games (Monopoly, Uno, etc.).  However, students will be responsible for any items they bring.  Northview will not be responsible for lost or damaged electronic or board games.
  • Northview’s standard policy towards cell phones will apply.  The cell phone policy is available on our school website in the parent handbook at http://www.nkcsd.k12.mo.us/schools/handbooks/northview.pdf
  • Students will have opportunities to watch one of several movies.  If you prefer that your child not watch a PG movie, please note this on the form below.
  • Students will eat breakfast between 7:30 and 8:00 AM on Saturday morning.  Students may be picked up beginning at 8:00 AM. 
  • As a parent, if you would like to re-live your own Dodgeball glory days, feel free to sign up below for the midnight “Dads and Dodgeball” session (Moms are also certainly welcome to join the fray!).  Please do not bring younger siblings or children.

Thank you for your support of the Lit Fest Lock-In!
